Simulation State dialog

The state of the network at defined times during the simulation can be saved for use as the initial state of subsequent simulations.

This dialog is used to:

The dialog is opened from the Schedule Hydraulic Run view by pressing the Simulation State button.

Sim

To use the saved state from a previous simulation as the initial state for the current run, drag an existing simulation (for which a state has been saved) into the Sim box.

Choose Time

Press this button to select which of the saved states of the selected Sim is to be used as the initial state of the current simulation.

Save state of this simulation

Check this box to save the state of the network at the times specified in the Set Save State Times dialog for the current simulation.

Saved states can be used as initial states for subsequent simulations.

Set Times

Press this button to specify the times for which the state of the current simulation will be saved.

If there are no times specified, the end time of the simulation will be saved by default.
